PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

LET´S START!

El present perfect continuous sirve para referirnos a:

Acciones no terminadas, es decir, que empezaron en el pasado y continúan en el momento presente: I’ve been working here for three months now (Llevo ya tres meses trabajando aquí [comencé a trabajar en este puesto hace tres meses y continúo en él]). Josh has been watching Netflix for three hours (Josh lleva tres horas viendo Netflix [encendió la tele hace tres horas y todavía sigue delante de la pantalla]). Acciones que han finalizado hace muy poco (y de las cuales, probablemente, todavía podamos observar algún rastro): Jenny is sweating because she’s been running (Jenny está sudando porque ha estado corriendo [y por eso está sudando]). It’s been raining - take a raincoat (Ha estado lloviendo / Ha llovido: llévate el impermeable [porque podría volver a llover]). Aysha has been painting the living room (Aysha ha estado pintando el salón [y por esa razón tiene manchas de pintura en la camiseta]).

¿También lo utilizamos cuando queremos resaltar más la acción que el resultado de la misma: Meera has been making a curry (Meera ha estado haciendo curri): aquí nos interesa más la acción (making) que el resultado (el curri).

Solemos recurrir a este tiempo para llamar la atención sobre la duración de una acción: She’s been going to the gym every single day for two months (Ha estado yendo al gimnasio todos los días durante dos meses / Lleva dos meses yendo al gimnasio todos los días). Mark has been replying to e-mails since this morning, and he still hasn’t answered them all (Mark lleva contestando correos electrónicos desde esta mañana, y aún no ha terminado).

"HI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE HAVEN´T TALKED SINCE YESTERDAY 🤔
